Happy hour is a worldwide phenomenon that has also spread to Morocco, and is usually found in hotel bars where alcohol is served. Between 6.30pm and 7.30pm, you can enjoy a free drink or half-price cocktails. Don't hesitate to ask if it's not advertised.
Alcohol consumption remains a complex subject in Morocco, but in theory it is forbidden for Muslims. The law stipulates that it is "forbidden for any operator of a licensed establishment to sell or offer alcoholic beverages or alcoholic beverages free of charge to Moroccan Muslims", who can be fined or even imprisoned. Only foreigners have free access, in hotels or nightclub bars, or in casinos.

If you stroll through the medina in the afternoon, you may be tempted to try the famous Sfenj (meaning sponge), a large doughnut eaten sprinkled with sugar as a snack, with mint tea of course. Soft on the inside and crisp on the outside, they can be heard crackling as they are dipped in hot oil by the "moul sfenj" who prepares them on the street, often near cafés, and only at very specific times. It's a very popular experience, and one that few visitors are willing to indulge in.
